A good book is the best friend: books open pathways to new worlds. Children who don't read perform more poorly in school and miss out on a profound source of pleasure and inspiration
There is power in the written word, reading specialists and educators agree. Reading presents children with a wealth of ideas and experiences and can model expressive, elegant writing. It is a cornerstone of school success, a skill and passion worth nurturing and supervising.

The proverb is so true. Have you ever heard the holy book of Hindus called "Ramayana". This book was first written by a scholar in difficult language and not for access of general public. Later one poet "Tulasidas" wrote it in simple language and allowed to general public. His this act was first apposed by many scholars but when they read this then they said that this book is a tulasi plant (a sacred plant which is worships in Hinduism) in the forest of happiness. I WANT TO SAY THAT COMPARISION OF A BOOK WITH PLANTS IS NOT UNUSAL.
